Thursday Night Football on Amazon

Since its launch in 2005, Amazon Prime has surpassed more than 200 million members globally.

What about 4k/HDR? According to Amazon, the traveling production of Thursday Night Football games is certainly capable of delivering 4k UHD and HDR (High Dynamic Range), even at a larger scale for events such as the playoffs and Super Bowl, but for now, the streams are just 1080p, SDR, and 5.1 audio. Perhaps we will see Amazon ramp up the quality of the TNF streams in the following weeks. NFL in 4k, at least for one game a week, would be welcome considering the 2022 schedule doesn’t show any broadcasts in Ultra HD yet.

Broadcast networks such as CBS, Fox, NBC, and ESPN all paid more than $2 billion per year for NFL games, but they get significantly more for their dollar than Amazon.
